Qui est sorti avec Anna Andreevna Achmatova?

Anna Andréevna Achmátova nata Gorenko (in russo А́нна Андре́евна Ахма́това^? ; in ucraino Анна Андріївна Ахматова^?; Bol'soj Fontan, 23 giugno 1889 – Mosca, 5 marzo 1966) è stata una poetessa russa, considerata tra le maggiori del secolo in lingua russa.

Candidata nel 1965 al premio Nobel per la letteratura, nella cui graduatoria finale giunse seconda dietro al connazionale Michail Šolochov, fu tra le più critiche penne contro lo stalinismo, periodo storico nel quale il suo primo marito fu fucilato e il suo secondo marito e il figlio furono condannati alla detenzione nei gulag. Ricevette riabilitazione letteraria dalle autorità sovietiche in tarda età, poco prima della morte avvenuta a Mosca nel 1966.

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (US: ; Italian: [ameˈdɛːo modiʎˈʎaːni]; 12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the École de Paris who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterised by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures — works that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought after. Modigliani was born and spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance. In 1906, he moved to Paris, where he came into contact with such artists as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși. By 1912, Modigliani was exhibiting highly stylised sculptures with Cubists of the Section d'Or group at the Salon d'Automne.

Modigliani's oeuvre includes paintings and drawings. From 1909 to 1914, he devoted himself mainly to sculpture. His main subjects were portraits and full figures, both in images and in the sculpture. Modigliani had little success while alive but after his death achieved great popularity. He died of tubercular meningitis, at the age of 35, in Paris.
